Redirecting a user to another page?

[Solarpitch]

Hey guys,

Ok first off . . I am using session variables. When a user goes to a page that they can only view when their logged in, I want the page to display "you must be logged in to view this section". Could I just redirect them to a login page? and if so . . . what code could I use to automatically redirect them?


Thanks,
Ger

well, here it is.
[code]
<?php
session_start();
header("Cache-control: private");

if(isset($_SESSION['sessionname'])){
//you are logged in!
echo $brilliantcontent;
}else{
//you are not logged in, punk.
//redirect to login page!
header("Location:http://www.phpfreaks.com/");
}
?>
[/code]
